Hi JM
Maybe you can extract the Deb file independently from bitbake with tar and
provide the binaries as a simple tar archive. This would allow to use
bitbake's fetcher to download the tar and unpack the binaries into WORKDIR
as usual. Then you can write a do_install task which installs the binaries
the Yocto way.
Calling dpkg from bitbake is probably not the best approach.
There is no need for all the fakeroot related code in your recipe. This
should just work by default.
